Check with building officials and local codes to ensure that you won't break any laws.  Every city is different and yours may have certain codes which only allow a certain type of fire pit. Get in contact with the planning offices in your area to see if any restrictions apply. Your pit should be far away from any flammable structure.  With an in-ground fire pit you need to make sure it’s built in a clear area. It should be a safe distance away from your home, deck, overhangs, trees, etc. You should also keep your fire pit away from heat sensitive plants, dry grass, bales of hay, open firewood, and other materials that could ignite. If you don’t already have your in-ground fire pit built, check wind patterns in the area before you build. You want to position your pit so that it doesn’t blow smoke into your home. You may want to position your fire pit in an out-of-the-way place for late night intimate gatherings. Or, you may want it more centrally located to encourage conversation and interaction between your guests.  Wherever you decide to place it, make sure that you pick a safe location. If you haven’t built the in-ground fire pit, make sure you pick a place that will stay clear of any plant life for years. It’s best to pick an open flat area for your guests as well. If you are on a slope it might be more uncomfortable to sit around the pit. If you are in a more enclosed area, smoke from the pit might be an issue. The easiest way to get a fire going in your in-ground fire pit is to sort your wood, kindling, and tinder.   To help you build the best fire, sort your materials by size. Place all your large logs together, followed by your smaller logs, kindling, and tinder. If you plan to cook any food over your fire, don’t use any starter logs or gels. These items contain chemicals which get into the smoke and can get on your food. If there’s any moisture in the wood, especially the larger logs, it will be harder to start your fire.  You can easily find tinder in your own yard from dry grass and leaves that...

TL;DR in English: Make sure you can legally use an in-ground fire pit in your home. Take a good look around your yard or patio when positioning your fire pit. Consider how you want your guests to interact. Gather your materials for a fire. Make sure that you use dry wood. Place your materials in your fire pit. Light the fire. Maintain your fire. Put out your fire.

To further deodorize the area, you can use some other household products. Baking soda can be used to absorb any remaining vinegar and further remove smells. Sprinkle baking soda liberally over the soiled area. Hydrogen peroxide mixed with baking soda with create a foaming action that is very effective at removing odors. Create a solution from 0.5 cups (120 ml) of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of dish soap. Pour this solution over the baking soda and allow it to foam. Using a scrub brush, work the baking soda and peroxide solution deep into the stain. Then blot the area with a paper towel to remove as much of the solution as you can. Allow the area to dry. This removes any lingering baking soda, as well as any lingering smell. A wet vac works best, but a traditional vacuum cleaner can be used in a pinch. Avoid using a steam cleaner, as this can actually further set the stain.

TL;DR in English: Cover the area with baking soda and let sit for 1 hour. Pour a mixture of 0.5 cups of hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon of dish soap on top of the baking soda. Scrub the peroxide and baking soda into the stain, then blot. Vacuum the carpet once the area is totally dry.

Your egotist may tend to talk about themselves frequently and at great lengths. If you feel like your partner does not give you enough space to talk about you, address it. You deserve to have this relationship and this partner be as much of a sounding board as he expects you to be for him. Try addressing it directly, or making it more of a new pattern in your conversations.  "John, I really need to talk to you about something that is bothering me. I know you have things you want to say as well, but I really need someone to listen. Would you be willing to focus on just this problem and help me?” Bring up topics more regularly that you are interested it. You may have gotten into the habit of just listening to your partner and letting him control the conversations. Start a new pattern of conversation by interjecting with topics you are interested in or thoughts you are having. There is a solid chance that your egotistic partner is going to do or say something that makes you angry or sad at some point, because what you are doing is difficult and can be frustrating. Communication is key in any relationship, especially when you are working through some things. If you are really bothered by a particular action of your partner or by something she said, tell her. Try to add a compliment or a praise in and then tell her what upsets you, carefully and tactfully.  "Jane, I love it when you teach me how to cook. You are really good at it, and I want to learn. It just really hurts me when you tell it to me like I'm a nine year old kid." ”I understand you have a very strong opinion about this. Maybe you know more about it than I do, too. I would just really like for you to respect my opinion even if it is different than yours and not laugh at me for sharing it with you.”

Talk to your local authorities to determine which permits you'll need. Contact your local falconry organization. Find a sponsor. Take the falconry test for your permit.

Practicing what some doctors call "scent therapy" can engage new receptors in your nose, improving your sense of smell over time. Choose several strong smells that are pleasant to you and spend a few minutes every day sniffing each one. After a few weeks, your nose will be able to pick up on these smells more easily. When you start noticing a difference, practice with more smells.   Essential oils are very useful tools when it comes to scent therapy. Chose 3 or 4 oils with smells you like, such as lemongrass, cedar, vanilla and geranium rose. You can also use raw materials to conduct scent therapy. Gather a few small jars and fill each one with a different strong-smelling substance, such as ground coffee, dried basil leaves, a few drops of your favorite floral shampoo, and so on. Keep the lids on the jars when you aren't using them so the smells stay strong. When you conduct scent therapy, you should sniff quickly, rather than deeply inhaling each scent. This way you'll avoid scent fatigue. Another form of therapy you can try is experimenting with identifying different types of smells with your eyes closed. Practicing this over the course of a few months will enhance your ability to distinguish between different smells. Close your eyes and have someone hold different substances under your nose one at a time. See if you can identify the smells.  Start by rotating smells that are quite different, like chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon, or bourbon, orange juice and peppermint tea. As you get better at distinguishing between smells, start working with smells that are more difficult to tell apart, like strawberry, cherry and raspberry, or lemon, lime and grapefruit. When you identify and describe a smell out loud, your ability to perceive it is sharpened. Make a practice of talking about smells as you experience them. Describe them out loud using specific language, the way a wine connoisseur would talk about the characteristics of different wines. Make a point of noticing and talking about everyday smells. For...

TL;DR in English: Inhale strong smells every day. Close your eyes and inhale. Describe smells out loud. Work up a sweat. Eat more zinc. Check your medication. Treat your allergies. Stop smoking.

Skipping meals, especially breakfast, causes a blood sugar drop. Besides hunger and fatigue, this causes increased sugar cravings. Eating balanced meals at regular times is one of the best ways to avoid these cravings.If you regularly get hungry during the day, pack some healthy snacks like nuts to have on the go. Studies show that exercise helps reduce cravings of all kinds, including cravings for sugar. Stay active to handle your own sugar cravings. Try to get 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days per week for the best results.  Aerobic or weight-bearing exercises have similar effects. As long as you’re staying active, you should see some positive benefits. If you’re swearing off sugar to lose weight, then getting regular exercise will help you reach that goal. Stress-eating is common, and people usually pick unhealthy, sugary foods for their stress-eating. Try to find other stress management techniques that don’t involve snacking. You have many choices, so use some stress-reducing exercises and enjoyable activities to control your stress.  Relaxation exercises like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing are great activities for stress-reduction. Any activities you enjoy also help reduce stress. Whether like knitting, playing guitar, watching movies, or playing videogames, all of these will help cut down on your stress and anxiety. Distracting your mind with enjoyable activities also distracts you from cravings.

TL;DR in English: Avoid skipping meals so your blood sugar doesn’t crash. Exercise regularly to reduce cravings. Find healthy stress-management strategies.

Becoming a falconer isn't as simple as going out into the wild and catching a bird. Raptors are protected by state/provincial, federal/national and international law and you will need the appropriate permits and licenses before getting a hawk or practicing falconry. Contact your local wildlife agency as early as possible so that you will have plenty of time to complete all of the necessary requirements to legally practice falconry.  These permits can take quite a long time to be approved, so it is important to plan ahead. In fact, most falconry resources agree that it is best to apply for these permits a year in advance of the hunting season in which you wish to begin falconry. Note that, in addition to a falconry permit, you may also need an ordinary hunting license, which can require you to take hunter education courses. At this point, you will probably also want to schedule the test you'll need to take to obtain your permit. See below for more information. Once again, here is a list of relevant wildlife agencies in the U.S. and Canada courtesy of NAFA. While you're waiting for your government paperwork to be processed, get in touch with the nearest falconry organization to start the process of becoming an apprentice. Not all states, provinces, or regions will have these sorts of clubs or organizations, but many do.   Here is a list of falconry club affiliates courtesy of NAFA. Consider attending meetings at falconry clubs even if you aren't fully certified to practice the sport yet. This is a great way of meeting people, learning about the sport, and creating relationships which can later transition into sponsorships. Falconers progress through three levels of proficiency as they train: Apprentice, General Falconer, and Master Falconer.As an apprentice you are required to have a sponsor for at least two years. Sponsors can be either General or Master falconers. Different falconry clubs and individuals may have different requirements of their potential apprentices — some sponsors might even require an...

Try a short skirt. Choose a skirt that extends somewhere between your mid-calf and the top of your foot, a few inches above your ankle. Longer skirts will keep you warmer, but a skirt that's too long will drag on the ground, getting wet and muddy. Shorter skirts are not going to

Winter is a great time for wearing longer skirts. They provide more warmth than shorter skirts, and they can still be fashionable. You can even go for an ankle-length skirt. Pick out a skirt that extends somewhere between your mid-calf and the top of your foot, a few inches above your ankle. Longer skirts will keep you warmer, but a skirt that’s too long will drag on the ground, getting wet and muddy. Shorter skirts are not going to provide much warmth. However, if you choose a fabric like wool, you are going to get a bit more warmth out of them. Denim, suede, and velvet can also offer more warmth. After that, you'll just need to pair them with something warm, such as leggings and a sweater. A knee-length skirt offers a bit of warmth (though not as much as a full-length skirt). In addition, you can wear it in a variety of situations.Knee-length skirts can be made to look professional, trendy, or flirty, depending on how you accessorize them. For instance, a pencil skirt paired with a button-up shirt and suit jacket can look professional, while a pencil skirt paired with a fancy top can serve for an evening out. Use a mini-skirt to create a chic look. Mini-skirts in winter seem to defy common sense. As a result, wearing one gives your style an edgy twist. Matching the skirt with suitable leg coverings will keep you both warm and fashionable. For instance, try a mini-skirt with patterned leggings and an oversized sweater. This advice may sound a little odd. However, layering skirts can provide you with extra warmth and look fashionable at the same time. Try a longer flowing skirt under a slightly shorter (less flowing) skirt, for instance, and it can be like having a petticoat on. Try a button-up dress with out any ruffles, and throw it over a ruffled skirt. Just button a few buttons at the top of the dress.

TL;DR in English: Try a long skirt. Choose skirts made with warm fabric. Choose a knee-length skirt for flexibility. Subvert expectations with a mini skirt. Double up on skirts.

With so many styling products available, there are plenty of options to help enhance your natural curl while fighting off unwanted frizz.  Products like gels, mousses, and curl-enhancing creams all contain ingredients called polymers, which coat the hair and “lock” your curl or wave into place. If your hair is fine and wavy then mousses are your best choice since they don't weigh hair down. If your hair is coarse and curly, gel or cream is recommended. Most hair sprays and mousses have a high alcohol content, which can cause the cuticle to swell up. Alcohol can also dry out your hair, making it look poofy and eventually leading to breakage. Try using alcohol-free products that work to reduce frizz, such as creams and serums. If your hair is damaged from dye, or just naturally dry, a boar-bristle brush can help to reduce frizz. This type of brush helps to gather the natural oils from your scalp and distribute them throughout your hair. It may seem counterintuitive, but wrapping flyaway strands around a curling iron can help set them in place and smooth out your hair. Be sure to completely dry your hair first and use the curling iron sparingly. Keep it on a low heat setting and don't hold the strands for very long. Whenever you use heat, you risk causing damage to your hair. Always apply a heat-protectant product first. A hot oil treatment is a great way to condition and strengthen your hair. This is a good idea for all hair types, so try it out with your friends. Choose a treatment with jojoba oil to help strengthen the cuticle and further prevent frizz. Warm up the oil then massage it into your hair and scalp.  If desired, you can put a shower cap over your hair and let the oil soak in for 30 minutes before washing it out. You can help the oil penetrate deeper into the hair shaft by applying heat with a hair dryer.

TL;DR in English: Let your natural shape work for you. Switch to alcohol-free products. Opt for a boar-bristle brush. Tame flyaways with a curling iron. Do a weekly hot oil treatment.

With your tape measure, measure the distance from the top of the bare wall to the top left and right corners of the item you are making a hole for. Then measure from the top corners of the item to its bottom corners. Write these measurements down, then bring your tape measure to the sheet of drywall to make the same measurements, marking each corner in pencil.  This process works for any hole you need to cut: holes for windows, doors, outlets, or light fixtures will all use the same measuring process. Use a ruler and pencil to draw the sides of your hole by connecting your corner marks directly on the sheet of drywall. This will give you an accurate line to follow while you’re cutting the hole. To cut a circular hole, measure from the edge of the drywall to the center of the circle that you need to cut. Use a compass tool to mark out your circle in pencil to the correct size of the hole. For a hole for an electrical outlet or light switch, insert a keyhole saw into one of the sides of the hole that you marked in pencil. Move the saw gently back and forth in the drywall, applying slight pressure as you move it along the line to cut one side. Remove the saw when you’ve finished one side and repeat this step for all 4 sides of the hole.  Use caution when working around a stud if the drywall is already hung in place over your outlet or light fixture. If you have a difficult time inserting the saw into the drywall for the first part of the cut, make a small slit with a utility knife first and then insert the keyhole saw into that before you start sawing. If you have a larger job, consider using an oscillating tool. Be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves when you’re using a saw. For larger holes to fit around doors or windows, use a drywall saw to make your cuts. Start sawing at an edge of the drywall if your hole is at the edge and has only 3 sides. Move the saw back and forth, applying gentle pressure to cut through the drywall along your marked lines.  If your hole is in the middle of the drywall sheet,...

TL;DR in English: Measure and mark each corner of a square hole. Use a keyhole saw to cut an outlet-sized hole. Use a drywall saw for a window or door hole. Tap the piece in the middle of the hole lightly with a hammer to remove it. Smooth the edges of the hole with a rasp.

Decide what color you want to dye your hair. Cover your skin, clothing, and counter. Mix 1 part bleach with 2 parts 20 volume developer. Apply a thin layer of bleach to your hair, then wait 15 minutes. Apply more bleach and wait another 30 minutes. Wash the bleach out with cool water and shampoo.

You can either check the phone book, use a search engine with keywords like "string instruments shop near me," or ask fellow musicians or your teacher for advice, but try to find some local music shops that you can visit easily. If you live in a very rural area or a small town where there are few or no shops like this at all, it may seem tempting to get online to do your shopping, but ideally you will want to see and test any instrument you want to purchase first. Make sure that the shop you go to has a good selection of cellos in various price ranges, both for students and professionals, present to try out. Take your time and visit multiple stores if you can. There's nothing wrong with going to several locations to price compare and make sure there's not some great, undiscovered cello just around the corner. Particularly for such a large investment, you don't want to rush into a decision. Find out what kinds of policies they have--can you rent-to-own? If you change your mind, do they have a trade-in policy in place? Do they allow you to finance or make payment plans? If so, find out additional details about these policies. Although you might feel like this is a decision you can make on your own, take your teacher or another trusted expert with you to the store; you will want them to examine the cellos with you, to listen to you play them, and to try them as well, so that you can be sure to pick a good cello. There may be things you will miss that they won't. Although most students are not aware of the practice, it is traditional within the industry that stores often give teachers a commission based on sales. This matters to you because the commission will almost assuredly be based on the amount of money the instrument costs. It could affect the advice that your teacher might give you for selecting a store or a particular brand.  Although there is nothing inherently unethical or illegal about this practice, you still deserve to know exactly what your money is paying for. Especially if you are hurting for...

This will determine whether or not you need to bleach it first. If you are going for a darker shade than your own, you do not need to bleach your hair and can go right on to the dyeing portion. If you are going a lighter shade, however, you will need to bleach first.  If you have light hair and are dyeing it darker, click here to continue. If your hair is blonde and you are dyeing it a cool color, like purple or blue, it may be a good idea to tone your hair first. Click here to learn more. Put on an old shirt you won't mind staining, then cover your shoulders with an old towel. Lay down some newspaper across your counter. If you want to, you can pull on a pair of plastic dyeing gloves as well. The bleach will be coming into contact with your scalp anyway, so the gloves are not absolutely necessary. Get a packet of hair bleach and 20 volume developer. Measure out 1 part bleach and 2 parts 20 volume developer. Mix the two together in a non-metal bowl with a non-metal spoon.  Prepare enough bleach to saturate your hair. Some bleach kits come with a little scoop. Use that to measure the bleach and developer. If you're wearing gloves, you can apply the bleach with your hands. Alternatively, use a tinting brush. Don't worry about being too meticulous here. Simply apply a light, even coat of bleach, then wait 15 minutes. The goal is to cover as much of your hair as quickly as possible.  This initial coat of bleach will ensure that your hair lightens evenly. Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap to protect your surroundings. If you have very light hair, you may only need to wait 5 to 10 minutes. Once you notice your hair starting to lighten, you're ready for the second coat of bleach. Do not rinse the bleach out. Simply take the shower cap off (if you put it on earlier), and apply a thick, generous coat of bleach. Use enough so that you can't see a single strand of hair sticking out of the bleach. Once you have it in, wait up to 30 minutes for the bleach to process.  Again, cover your hair with a plastic shower...

Avoid looking down at your board. You might lose balance or cause the front of your board to dip and throw you into the water. Avoid turning the actual board to steer as you’ll likely fall. Applying pressure to your toes (the front edge of the board) and your heels (the back edge of the board) will cause your board to carve through the water and turn. If you catch yourself raising the handle or holding it up to your chest, steadily move it back down. Holding the handle high up when you’re wakeboarding may cause you to fall. Falling into the water on a wakeboard can be painful, but it’s important not to panic. Once the driver has turned the boat around, signal to them that you’re OK. If you want to try again, wait for the driver to put the boat in neutral and then grab hold of the tow rope handle.

If you're familiar with common phishing attempts, you'll be less likely to fall for them. University and government cybercrime or information security websites are good sources of information.  For example, the Berkeley Department of Information Security and Policy has an archive of phishing messages available at https://security.berkeley.edu/resources/phishing/phishing-examples-archive. You can also find news and information at https://www.antiphishing.org/, the official website of the Anti-Phishing Working Group. A legitimate email typically will have a specific subject line that gives you a basic understanding of what the email will say. Phishing emails, on the other hand, use vague phrases such as "Urgent Reminder" or "Your Account at Risk" to alarm you.  Phishing email subject lines may also start with the abbreviation "Re:" to make you think the email is a response to an email you've sent. However, if you look at the email thread you can clearly see that there are no other emails. The subject line also may use special characters, emojis, or extra spaces. These don't serve any real purpose other than to draw your attention to the email by making the subject line look different from others in your inbox. Particularly if an email comes from a business, government agency, or other organization, the sender typically proofreads carefully before sending it. Obvious spelling and grammatical errors are a red flag that the email may not be legitimate. Also pay attention to the way language is used. Phishing emails frequently use words incorrectly or include awkward turns of phrase that no one would actually say. Scammers typically try to make the email address a phishing email is sent from look official or legitimate if you just glance at it. However, upon closer inspection, you'll note that something is amiss.  Instead of ending in ".com," as it should, the email address may end differently. They may include "com" in the domain to fool you. For example, you might get a phishing email from "airbnbcom.work"...

TL;DR in English: Read information on the latest phishing attempts. Check if the subject line is vague or oddly formatted. Look for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Examine email addresses carefully. Treat "urgent" requests with suspicion. Recognize improper use of copyright or trademark notices.

To help make sure you have time to do all of your work outside of school, make sure you have time set aside every day to do homework. It needs to be long enough so that you can get all of your work done, and maybe even have your parents check it for mistakes.  During your homework time, make sure you don’t have any distractions. Turn off the TV, video game, cell phone, anything that will take your attention away from your homework. This can also mean your parents, siblings, or pets, really anything that might distract you from working. If you aren’t paying attention, that makes it more likely you’ll do something wrong. One thing that will really help is to make sure this homework time happens at the same time every day. This will help you get into a rhythm of doing your work at the same time, so you’ll always know when you should be doing homework. Don’t forget to think about other activities when you plan your homework time. It’s okay to do other things like soccer practice, dance lessons, or even playdates. Just remember that you need to make sure you have time to do school work in addition to those things. Your teacher will probably give you homework, assignments you need to do after school. The goal of these assignments is to help you learn the material, so making sure it gets done before school will help you learn and get better grades.  You’ll probably get lots of different assignments covering different subjects. When you get home, it is a good idea to list all of your assignments, and think about how much time you need to spend on them and the order you should do them. Along with doing worksheets and reading books, this can mean other things, such as making time to practice an instrument if you are in the band. Just because you don’t have something to turn in doesn’t mean it isn’t important to get done. When your teacher tells you that you will have a test or quiz, make sure you prepare.

The Buddhist teachings include the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment.  Attend a Buddhist temple and improve your mediation technique.  Think carefully about Buddhist teachings and understand how they relate to your everyday experience. Ordination within the Buddhist community is a challenging endeavor, and the vows are taken for life.  If you’ve only read a few books on Buddhism and have a vague understanding of its teachings, you should not become ordained. After learning a bit about Buddhism, dive deeper with a learned Buddhist.  In Buddhist tradition, it is important to have a teacher or guide to help you realize and understand the truths contained within Buddhist practice and law.  Your spiritual guide will likely be another monk or nun, and they must be someone who can grant permission to ordain you. Taking refuge refers to the act of formally professing before a member or members of the Buddhist clergy to place your faith in the Buddha, the Sangha (the Buddhist community), and the Dharma.  Five additional vows you must take include include commitments to remain free of lying, intoxication, stealing, inappropriate sexual behavior, and harming other living things. Going on spiritual retreats within the Buddhist community will give you a flavor of what life is like for a nun or monk.  Talk to the nuns or monks you go on the retreat with, and begin practicing celibacy.  You should also adopt the monk’s diet of vegetarianism during this time. If you travel to Asia, you might be able to partake in a part-time ordination program where you can live as a monk or nun for a few days or weeks during the year. If you are ordained outside the Buddhist community where you intend to stay, you will be taken on as a guest monk at the monastery or convent.  The monastic community will give you advice on Buddhist practice and evaluate your understanding of Buddhism.  After about two to three months, your monastery or nunnery will decide to accept you. Attain permission from...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with Buddhist teachings and practice. Have a spiritual mentor. Take refuge and vows. Go on retreats. Join a monastic community. Undergo the ordination ceremony. Contribute to the religious community.

Act the part by investing in clothing that makes you feel like a grown-up. Trade in your band shirts for collared button downs, go for a nice blazer instead of a denim jacket, and invest in a nice pair of shoes.  Go shopping with an adult and ask for their opinion on your selections. Look for clothing that is high quality and well made. Fast fashion, or trendy styles may look good at the moment, but it's a smarter move to invest in pieces that will last you longer than a few weeks.  Put some effort into your appearance by doing your hair, making sure your clothes are clean, and putting cologne or perfume on. Messy living spaces can make you feel like you are living in a college dorm room, or a kid’s room. Clean up the sink full of dirty dishes or the piles of laundry lying around your room or apartment. Reduce clutter by re-organizing your space to be more functional. Focus on presenting a clean, organized living space. Look at How to Organize Your Room and How to Clean Your House for tips and tricks for keeping your space clean. A mentor is someone who gives help and advice to a less experienced person. A good mentor will help you build your self-confidence and self-worth. They will teach you new skills or help you improve the skills you already have, and act as a role model or someone you can look up to.  Reach out to your guidance counselor at school, or to your community leaders. You can also look for a mentor in a family member or a close family friend. Look at programs like the Boys and Girls Club, which connects young people to role models and mentors in their community. This could be cooking, driving, or even crocheting. Focus on building your self-confidence by learning more about a skill or activity that interests you.  Obtaining your driver's license is a big step to becoming more responsible and independent. You no longer have to depend on someone else, such as your parents, to drive you around or adhere to someone else’s schedule when you need to get to a date or an important meeting.  Even if...

Get the clean shower drain body and place it into the drain. Use your hands to twist the drain body clockwise and tighten it as much as you can. When you can’t screw the drain body any more, use a hammer and a screwdriver again to further twist the drain body into place. Fitting the drain body causes the caulk to spread slightly, so it’s important to remove this excess caulk before it dries. Get 2-3 sheets of regular kitchen paper towels and use these to remove any excess caulk. It’s best to wipe around the whole opening of the shower drain with the paper towels to ensure that you don’t miss any caulk that has oozed out. You can also use an old rag to wipe away the excess caulk. Push the strainer back onto the drain body and make sure that it sits flat. You may need to hit it lightly with a hammer to ensure that it’s in place. When the strainer is in the right place, use a screwdriver to put the screws back in. Make sure that you tighten the screws well. It’s important for the new caulk to cure and set properly before you use the shower again, as otherwise, this might damage the caulk. Read the label of the caulk carefully to check how long your specific product takes to dry.

TL;DR in English: Screw the drain body back on. Wipe the caulk away off the edges with a paper towel. Screw the shower strainer back on to the drain body. Let the new caulk cure for approximately 24 hours.

Some substances, after being ingested, can cause a lot of damage if vomited back up. If you know your dog swallowed one of the following substances, do not induce vomiting:  Bleach Drain cleaner Petroleum-containing substance, such as gasoline Getting a dog to vomit can be dangerous if the dog is extremely sick or unresponsive. If your dog is showing signs of severe poisoning, do not induce vomiting. Take your dog to your vet right away. Look for the following signs indicating severe poisoning:  Difficulty breathing Looking depressed Having seizures Slow heart rate Unconsciousness If possible, get your dog to vomit within about two hours after it has ingested something toxic. After two hours, the toxin will have moved into the intestines, making induction of vomiting no longer effective.

TL;DR in English: Research which substances should not be vomited up. Look for signs of serious poisoning. Induce vomiting promptly.

. Form an adjustable ring with your yarn, more commonly referred to as a "magic ring." At the end of the ring, make one chain stitch to secure the ring in place. . Work ten single crochets into the center of the magic ring. Join the final single crochet with the top of the first single crochet with a slip stitch.  If necessary, tug on the ends of the magic ring to close it into a tight circle. This completes the first round. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Make two single crochets into each stitch of the previous round, joining the last and first at the top with another slip stitch.  This creates an increase, thereby enlarging your circle. You should have a total of 20 crochet stitches in this second round. After you finish this round, compare it to the size of the button. If you are on the right track, you should need to make another front round still to cover the front of the button. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first stitch of the previous round, then single crochet twice in the next stitch. Continue all the way around the button, joining the first and last single crochets of this round with another slip stitch.  You should have 30 stitches in this round. By now, your button cover should be about the same size as your button. If it is slightly larger, that will work too, since the excess can wrap around the back of the button. Chain stitch once to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first five stitches of the previous round, then make a single crochet decrease over the next two stitches from the previous round. Repeat all the way around, joining the last and first single crochets with a slip stitch.  You should have 26 stitches in this round. The piece should begin to curl under into the shape of a bowl. Chain one to get into the next round. Single crochet once in each of the next two stitches. Single crochet decrease over the next two stitches after that. Continue all the way around, joining the last and first stitches...

TL;DR in English:


Caramelize the onions in a slow cooker for a hands-off method.

Since you're using a liquid to clean the screen in this method, it's important to turn off the computer and unplug it from the outlet. The ideal solution is plain distilled water, which contains no chemicals and is gentle on the screen. If heavier cleaning is needed, a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and distilled water can also be effective.  Make sure you use plain white vinegar, not apple cider vinegar or any other kind. Distilled water is better than tap water because it's chemical-free. Manufacturers no longer recommend using any cleaners with alcohol, ammonia or any strong solvents on LCD screens. This is the type of spray bottle that you push from the top to get a fine mist, similar to a perfume bottle. Pour some of the solution into the spray bottle and screw on the top. Don't use this to spray on the screen itself, however. A static-free, fiber-free cloth works best. Remember not to use regular cloth, since this could scratch the screen. Do not soak the cloth; you just want to get it moist, which is the purpose of using the atomizer bottle to wet it.   A wet cloth can drip or run when cleaning the screen and the solution can weep behind the bezel and permanently damage your screen. Try applying the solution to just one corner of the cloth at a time, to make sure you don't get it too wet. Rapid circular movements generally eliminate streaks. Apply a gentle and even pressure to the cloth. Use only enough pressure to keep the cloth in contact with the screen. Take care not to press your fingers into the cloth or screen, since applying too much force when cleaning the screen can permanently damage the LCD matrix and render your screen unusable.  Hold the screen toward the very top or very bottom to avoid re-smudging it as you work. You may need to pass over the screen multiple times before all the smudges have been removed. You may also need to re-dampen the cloth as you work, depending on how many passes over the screen you need to make.

TL;DR in English: Turn the computer off and unplug the power adapter and battery. Create a gentle cleaning solution. Put the solution in a small atomizer bottle. Apply a minimal amount of the solution to a microfiber cloth. Wipe the cloth against the screen in a circular motion.

If people in your life have made suggestions about your habits, take those suggestions into consideration. Remember that true change comes from the inside so also listen to your intuition and honor how you feel as well as feedback you have received from people in your life. You have to be committed to making change and building self-control in order to truly change your behaviors. Some examples might be smoking, eating, work habits, productivity, alcohol, controlling your temper, shopping or spending money, etc. We all have areas of our life that could use more discipline and self-control, so remember to be easy on yourself and take things slowly. Look at your list and choose one thing you want to work on. Changing habits takes time, and building self-control takes effort. Honor your energy and set realistic goals that are achievable.  Remember that you’re only in control of your own behavior while choosing. For instance, don’t choose something like “having a better relationship with my parents” since that requires effort from your parents as well. A goal such as “improve my communication habits with my parents” is better because it hinges on your behavior alone. Be realistic about what kind of changes you can make that will fit into your life, your time, and your ability. If you try to change everything at once, as ambitious as this may be, you can risk self-sabotaging your efforts and giving up. Educate yourself as much as you can about how others have built self-control in similar situations. Ask friends or loved ones who have made similar changes in their lives. Do an internet search about the specific thing you are trying to change. For example, if overeating is the behavior you have decided to change, find books about impulsive eating (or binge eating) and gather as many helpful strategies as you can about how to build self-control around eating. Start a journal just for eating, for example, and write down or keep track of as many strategies as you come across. This gives you more options to try to...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of the habits or behaviors you want to control. Choose the main behavior from the list you’d like to control. Research the behavior. Take an honest inventory of yourself. Set realistic goals. Mark your progress. Motivate yourself. Channel the energy into positive behaviors. Develop new hobbies. Build yourself up. Use your support system. Reward yourself. Learn when to seek help.

Fill your slow cooker at least 1/2 full with sliced onions and add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil or butter for every 1 pound (450 g) of onions. Put the lid on the cooker and turn it to low. Slow-cook the onions for 10 hours so the onions brown and soften. If you remember, you can stir the onions occasionally to help them cook evenly, but it's fine if you simply leave them to cook without stirring.

Squeeze the bottom of the pot your lavender plant is in. This helps loosen the lavender and its dirt ball from the smaller pot. Tilt the lavender sideways and pull gently on the plant’s base. With the loosening of the previous step, the lavender plant should ease out of its old pot.  The dirt should be solid enough that it feels like it will come out in one chunk if handled gently. Handle your pot-less lavender gently to avoid breaking the dirt and damaging the roots as well as the foliage above the dirt. Now you’re ready to pot your lavender plant in the new pot! Nestle it into the dirt that is already in the pot for security. The base of the plant should sit 3-inches below the rim of the pot. Gently break the surface of the lavender dirt ball with your fingers to release some of the roots.  Root binding happens when a plant has been in a small pot too long and the roots rival the dirt for space. This makes the dirt hard and unless the dirt and roots are loosened, the roots will not expand in their new pot and the plant will soon die.  Most potted plants won’t be root bound, but it’s a good idea to loosen up the roots and dirt a little to ensure the roots get a healthy start. Fill it only up to the top of the dirt ball around the lavender plant’s roots. Don’t pack the soil around the Lavender plant. The soil needs to stay loose for effective drainage. Sprinkle the fertilizer on the soil and then scratch the fertilizer into the soil with a fork.  Timed-release fertilizer can be found at any gardening or farm store and will release fertilizer as the plant is watered. An example of a timed-release pellet fertilizer is alfalfa pellets. They are organic and contain Triacontanol, which is a growth stimulant.  Some soils come with fertilizers like alfalfa pellets already mixed in, so you may not need to do this. Turkey grits or white landscaping pebbles work best for mulching lavenders. Lay the mulch on the soil in a 2-inch thick layer up to the base of the plant.  This mulch is great for preventing rot in the...

TL;DR in English: Remove the Lavender plant from its current pot. Place the lavender plant in the center of the pot. Fill the rest of the pot with your potting mix. Spread a half cup timed-release fertilizer over your potting soil. Mulch your lavender plant.

If you were dating or if she was your friend, decide if you still want her in your life. Either way, you might still be able to make her feel guilty, but it's best to figure out whether you still want her or not. Decide what she did wrong. Admit to any part you may have had in the conflict and focus on the specifics of what she did to offend you. Is she mean to everyone or is she only mean to you? Give yourself time to recover from the way she treated you. Stop talking to her. Avoid her at school, work, or wherever you normally see her. If you happen to run into her, walk past her and pretend she isn't even there. Focus on healing yourself without relying on time to do it for you. Surround yourself with friends that support you. Talk to your friends about how she hurt you. Give yourself a support group so you don't have to face her alone before you are ready. Before you confront her, make sure you have a clear idea of what you are going to say. If your thoughts toward her are very chaotic, take time to write down the specific things that are hurting you.

TL;DR in English:


Brush your hair out with a wide toothed comb. Spray gray hairspray at the top of your hair. Run the comb to the tips and spray. Comb and spray the rest of your hair.

The quickest way to get rid of a raspy voice is to talk. Although your voice will sound gritty and unpleasant at first, it will soon even out and you’ll soon find yourself speaking in a normal voice.  If you don’t want others to hear you talking in a raspy voice, try talking to yourself, talking to your pets, or even talking or singing in the shower. Alternately, even if you wait a few hours to begin speaking in the morning, most of the raspy sound will have left your voice. Your voice will sound the hoarsest during the first hour or two after waking up. If your vocal chords have dried out overnight, you’ll likely wake up with a raspy, dry voice in the morning. To get rid of the raspy quality as soon as possible, have a large drink of water, coffee, or even orange juice as soon as possible. The liquid will clear any phlegm or liquids that have built up in your throat.   Vocalists are often advised to squeeze a lemon slice into a glass of water to help “wake up” their vocal cords. Avoid drinking milk in the morning, as it is a relatively thick liquid and will not clear your throat well. If your throat and vocal cords are coated with mucus (which often produces a raspy voice), try clearing your throat to remove the thick, phlegmy coating. This will help your voice to quickly return to its normal quality. Humming will “wake up” your voice by causing your vocal cords to vibrate and shake off any mucus coating them. When you hum correctly, you should feel you lips and nose gently vibrating. Try humming for 30 seconds, and then saying a few words. See if your voice has improved. If not, hum some more.

TL;DR in English: Start talking shortly after you wake up. Drink water or coffee when you get up. Clear your throat gently. Hum softly to help clear your throat.

Use a wide toothed comb to brush all your hair out. Then take the comb and comb down a section of hair at the side of your face until midway down the hair shaft.  Combing out your hair separates all the strands so that you can more evenly spray your hair. If you have short hair, you don’t need to comb through your hair. Still holding the comb in your hair, spray the top of the section of hair you are combing lightly and evenly with gray or silver hairspray. If you have short hair, you can simply spray your entire head evenly and with the hairspray, building it up in layers if you want a more dramatic effect.  You can find temporary gray or silver spray color at most beauty stores and Halloween stores. Silver spray may be more common but it also may have a metallic effect, so it’s best to check the packaging or consult a store associate before purchasing a temporary silver hairspray. Hairspray is very effective at coloring your hair, but it may make your hair stiff depending on how much you use. Once you have sprayed the top of the strand of hair you are combing, run the comb down your hair shaft and spray to the tips of your hair. Repeat the spraying process on your whole head, partially combing a section of your hair, spraying it from the top of your head down to the comb, then combing out the rest of the section and spraying. Use a mirror for the back of your head and apply the spray until you are satisfied with the result. Colored hairspray usually lasts from 1-3 shampoos.

yourself to others. It’s hard to stop comparing yourself to what others are doing. However, it’s important to stop because you’ll always view yourself unfavorably, even if that’s not true. Instead, compare yourself to you in the past to make sure you’re growing into the person you want to be.  For instance, compare your skills last year to the skills you have now. As an example, you might be tempted to compare your grades to your friend's grades. Instead, compare the skills you have now to your performance in the past. You might say to yourself, "Last year I didn't understand algebra at all, but now I'm passing my class. That's progress!" Life is short, so spend it doing things that make you happy. People are going to have a different perspective on things than you do, but don’t listen when they say negative things. Just keeping doing you.  For instance, don’t be afraid to wear Halloween clothes in July if that makes you happy. Similarly, wear wigs every day if you have fun changing up your look. If people make fun of you, it might help to give a comeback and walk away. You might say, "Did you stay up all night thinking of that?" "Wow, I'm surprised you care," or "Always nice to hear from my fans." This can make them stop. If talking to them makes you uncomfortable, walk away from them and talk to someone who understands you. When people make comments, remind yourself why it's important to you to be yourself. Say, "I want to write my own story, so I can't let these people hold me back." You’ve probably encountered conformity at your school or work. Sometimes it’s important to follow rules, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up your identity. Don’t feel like you have to fit in with everyone else. Just be yourself.  For instance, don’t worry about what’s trendy or fashionable. Choose clothes that express what you want to say to the world. Similarly, don't feel pressured to choose an educational or career path just because everyone else is doing it. When you make decisions, do what feels right for you even...

If your braces are bothering you, try cold drinks. Ice cold water and cold juices or soft drinks can help ease the pain of your teeth and gums. Cold liquids can cause a numbing sensation in the mouth, resulting in a reduction of inflammation and pain. As cold drinks can provide pain relief, you could try cold foods to see if they have a similar effect. Try drinking chilled smoothies or eating ice cream or frozen yogurt. You can also refrigerate fruit, veggies, and other healthy foods so they're cool when you eat them. Cold fruits, like chilled strawberries, may have some effect on strengthening the gums. Do not, however, bite into any frozen foods, and avoid using your front teeth. Doing so may cause cracks in your enamel, which can be difficult to repair and increase sensitivity. Icing sore areas can decrease inflammation, lessening pain. Applying an ice pack to the outside of your mouth may reduce pain. Remember, do not apply a store bought ice pack directly to bare skin. Wrap it in a towel or cloth before use to avoid frostbite and other complications. A salt water rinse is an easy home remedy that help ease pain for some. It's quick and easy to use.  Mix about a half a teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water. Mix until the salt is dissolved.  Rinse your mouth with the solution for about 30 seconds and then spit it out into a sink.  You can also rinse with chamomile tea, green tea, or ginger tea, which may have an anti-inflammatory effect. Rinse twice a day: for one minute in the morning and two minutes before going to bed. Teeth tend to be very sensitive after braces are tightened or adjusted. Softer foods can help reduce pain and irritation.  Go for foods that do not require much movement of the teeth. Things like mashed potatoes, smoothies, puddings, soft fruits, and soups are good options.  Try to avoid spicy foods and hot drinks as these can cause gum irritation.

You’ll improve over time if you adapt your practices to your players. Consider how effective your practice sessions are and modify them to suit your team’s needs. If you don’t see improvement in your players, consider changing the format of your practices or the lineup of your team. Be open to change. Testing an idea will give you good feedback on whether or not you’re going in the right direction. If a play doesn’t work, changing it can only help identify the problem. Ask other coaches or parents what they think you could improve upon. Set concrete goals for yourself and try to reflect on how well you’re doing. A good coach adapts and seeks feedback when things aren’t working. Your team isn’t a dictatorship. When your players provide you with feedback, consider it carefully. It’s possible that they see things that you don’t during a practice or game. You only have one set of eyes, and you’re going to miss things during game time. Have a friend or parent of a player set up a camcorder or phone to record your games. Watch the games later and try to figure out what is working and what isn’t. Studying game film is an excellent way to improve your skills as a coach. You can watch game film with your players as well. Sometimes it helps for players to see what the game looks like from a different perspective. A good coach is a good student. Read as many books about coaching the game as you can, and sign up for clinics that teach coaches how to improve. Clinics also provide a good opportunity to bounce ideas off of others and meet new people. Improving your skills as a coach is a good way to develop and create a championship team!

TL;DR in English: Develop your coaching style over time by considering what works. Reflect on how you can improve and seek feedback. Study game film to understand what’s working. Attend coaching clinics and basketball camps to learn new things.

Combine about two tablespoons of baking soda with about one tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water.  The mixture should not be too thin.  If it sloshes about in the bowl you mixed it in, add some more baking soda to help it achieve a more paste-like texture.  It also shouldn't be too thick.  If the mixture is thick and dry, and doesn't adhere well to the fork or spoon you use to mix it, add some water to thin it out. The more grout you have to clean, the more paste you'll need. The easiest way to apply the paste to the grout is with your finger.  Simply scoop a little dollop of the paste onto your finger tip and smear it in an even layer across the grout you wish to clean. In a spray bottle, combine water and vinegar in a one-to-one ratio.  For instance, you might combine 1.5 cups (354 milliliters) vinegar with 1.5 cups (354 milliliters) water. To prevent grout from accumulating grime in the shower, just spray this mixture onto the shower grout two or three times weekly after getting out of the shower. Point the nozzle of the spray bottle toward the baking soda paste you've smeared along the grout.  Squeeze the handle of the bottle.  Repeat as necessary until all of the paste has bubbled up somewhat. You may have to wait about five minutes for the vinegar and baking soda to react. Once the paste has become fizzy with the application of the vinegar mixture, use a stiff-bristled toothbrush to scrub the grout clean.  Use a toothbrush you aren't planning on using again for anything but detail cleaning. Once you've loosened the grime and grit along your grout, it should wipe away with ease.  Take a damp rag or paper towel and wipe it along the grout you've cleaned.  Wipe the area along the edges of the grout, too, to soak up any of the lingering water/vinegar. If you want to give your floor an additional level of shine, mop the whole thing after you're done.

TL;DR in English: Make a baking soda paste. Apply the paste to the grout. Mix water and vinegar. Spray the mixture onto the paste. Scrub the grout. Wipe the grout.

According to reflexology theory, this will help to relax you and flush toxins from your system. Also, general massage has been proven to reduce pain and improve quality of life. Hand reflexology points are located more deeply than the similar points on your foot, so warming up your hand is very important to avoid pain.  Gently rub massage oil or moisturizer into the wrist of your hand, using gentle, sweeping motions with your thumb for about 30 seconds. Continue these sweeping motions as you move up to the palm of the hand, sweeping from the inside of the palm to the edges for about 30 seconds. Turn you hand over and gently run your thumb from the webbing between your fingers to the top of your wrist. Grip each finger and give it a gentle side to side twist, rotating the knuckle joint.  Move your hand up and repeat with the second joint and top joint of each finger. Repeat these steps with your other hand. Starting with the tip of your thumb, use your thumb and index finger to squeeze and apply pressure in a gentle circular motion for 3 to 5 seconds. Work your way down your thumb two times, then repeat with your other fingers. Do the same for you other hand. For each area of your palm, you will move downwards, then back up, and then to the side and start down again. At each point, apply gentle, rotational pressure for 3-5 seconds.  Start on the soft padding under your fingers. Move on to the center of your palm. Work on the outer edge of your hand, starting under the little finger and continuing to the wrist. Massage the base of your hand, moving from your thumb to the outer edge of you hand. Finish by moving from left to right and back again across your wrist. Remember to apply much less pressure, as the back of your hand is very sensitive.  Starting at the knuckle at the base of your thumb, apply gentle, rotational pressure for 3 to 5 seconds. Work down to the wrist, then move sideways. Continue working from the knuckles to the wrist until you have covered the entire back of your hand. Apply gentle pressure...

Once you have your model boat kit, you'll want to open it up and examine its contents.  You should have all the parts and instructions necessary to assemble your boat.  However, you'll want to make sure you actually have everything.  Laying the pieces out can be a good way to notice if anything is missing or damaged.  Make sure all the parts are accounted for. Make sure none of the parts are damaged. Find your instructions manual and review it. You may need additional tools or materials.  Check your instructions to see if you need to buy anything else before getting started. A very important part of assembling your model boat will be to make sure the planks lay evenly over the bulkheads.  If the planks aren't able to touch each bulkhead and lay flat, your boat may not be correctly assembled.  Use these steps to see how flat the planks will fit across the bulkheads, ensuring that your model boat will be assembled correctly:  Place a plank over the bulkheads. If there is a space where the plank doesn't touch a bulkhead, sand the bulkheads down until the plank rests flatly against each bulkhead. Take your time and make sure each plank will lay flatly against the bulkheads. Make sure to test both sides of the bulkheads. If you sand one area down too much, you can add tiny slivers of wood later on to level off the plank. Once you are sure the planks will lay flatly against the bulkheads, you can begin affixing them.  Adding planks will create the hull of your model boat.  The first plank you place will determine how each other plank is affixed, so take your time and apply it properly, according to your model's instructions.  You will likely place the first plank at deck level. Planks run the length of the boat, from fore to aft. Each plank will be glued to the bulkheads that it is meant to touch. Check your model's instructions to learn where you should place your first plank. Add planks in pairs to ensure they are even and level with one another.  Your first planks should mirror images of one another. Soaking...

TL;DR in English: Open the box and lay out your parts. Level the bulkhead frames. Add the first planks. Sand the hull.

Once you've had your first meeting, make sure to maintain regular communication with your members. Offer regular updates on meeting times, as well as synopses of the meetings. You'll also need to provide updates as new information becomes available. It's important that your personal agenda (such as advancing in the company) doesn't come before the committee. That means that you place more importance on the committee succeeding in its goals than on you succeeding in your own goals. One of the key points of encouraging creativity is that you build up members rather than tear them down. If you are constantly berating members in front of the group for their ideas, they will soon stop volunteering ideas. Therefore, it's important to make the committee a place where you are accepting of new thoughts and ideas, even if they seem strange at first. As old members go off the committee, you'll need to recruit more members. As you do, make sure you provide them with an appropriate orientation that covers the rules and focus of the group, just as you did when you started with the committee. Help the new person to figure out how she or he can engage with the committee. Many times, members do not need to be on a committee, and they are volunteering to do so. Keep that in mind as you run your committee, and offer your thanks in writing and in person for what they do to make your committee a success.

TL;DR in English: Communicate often. Put the committee above your personal agenda. Encourage creativity. Gain new members. Don't forget to be thankful.

Keep in mind that the prey will start off with fewer people. You can decide how you want to do this. (e.g. 2vs3 2vs4 4vs6 and so on.)     Know that teams can be equal if you prefer. The prey then goes out into the paintball playing area.     Set up where they want; and hide wherever, and however they want. (Under leaves, grass, in a bunker, etc..)  If a predator is shot, they are out of the game. If a prey is shot, they become part of the predators team.

A fake fight scene requires real coordination. To make a convincing fight scene you need actors that can fight convincingly. Whether you're filming a one-on-one duel or a big brawl, you want actors who can carry themselves with fluidity and coordination.  If your actors aren't comfortable moving a lot, you can still give them smaller parts in the fight. It will make your job much harder, however. Fake fighting is closer to dancing than actual brawling, and requires a similar level of coordination and athleticism. Do you want a blazing fast kung-fu battle or a slow, intense brawl? Will the fight be one-sided or will the combatants be evenly matched? Maybe one character is getting beaten up badly, but comes behind at the very end to win. Whatever your film, figure out the feel and progression of the fight before you start choreographing it.  How does each fighter behave? A noble warrior, for example, will fight very differently from a scoundrel pirate. Do you want gritty, realistic violence or something more fun and cartoonish? How serious is this fight? If you're not making the movie alone, show your cast and crew fight scenes from 3-4 movies you want your scene to look like. This helps everyone get on the same page. This is non-negotiable -- any closer and you risk real injury, any further and the hit will look unconvincing. Say Kim needs to kick at Ron's head. There are two ways to play it. First, Kim can kick in front of Ron's face, arching her foot in front of his nose. Second, she can kick past his head, flying past his ear. A third method is to let Ron dodge the blow, which is much easier to shoot than fake contact because you don't need to "cheat" the impact of the kick. If Kim is throwing that kick Ron needs to realistically get hit by it. As the kick passes his head, Ron should launch himself in the same direction, mimicking the contact. Take it at 50% speed at first so that both actors know exactly what is happening and where they need to go, then slowly ratchet up the speed with each rehearsal. Let...

TL;DR in English: Find physical, athletic actors to work with. Decide on the tone and arc of the fight. Keep all punches and kicks 6–8 inches (15.2–20.3 cm) away from the actors. Coordinate the reaction to each hit to time it up with the action. Let the person getting hit dictate any actual movement. Purchase safe, movie-specific props. Practice each action individually before stringing it all together. Add flourishes and details once the main actions are perfected.

Your child’s extreme behavior might be a wake-up call for you that they need help or intervention. Therapy can help your child build skills and create positive behaviors. Your child might learn mindfulness skills which can help them make better decisions and cope with stress in more effective ways.  Therapy shouldn’t feel like a punishment to your child or a consequence for their bad behavior. Find a therapist by calling your insurance provider or local mental health clinic. You can also obtain a recommendation from a physician or loved one. You may also consider family therapy. This can help your whole family develop positive coping skills to move forward from what happened, and it can also help your family to adjust to the changes that your child’s expulsion may bring. If you have multiple children in your family, then family therapy may also help your child’s siblings process their feelings and cope with the changes after your other child was expelled. This is where your role as a parent comes in, especially if the problems at school were behavioral. Think about what specific problems your child has and how you can help them. Does your child disrespect authority, bully others, or do dangerous activities? Find ways to work on these at home, like with their siblings. While you should be firm with your child, also show empathy and understanding to them. Be calm in your interactions and connect on an emotional level. For example, if your child bullied kids at school and was expelled, watch how they interact with their friends or siblings and don’t be afraid to correct bad behavior. Say, “You can’t talk to your sister that way. Try again.” Let your child know when their behavior is inappropriate and that they need to make some changes. It might be helpful for you to enforce some new rules in your home or enforce consequences in a different way if what you’ve been doing hasn’t been working. Focus on consequences over punishments so that your child can learn from the experience.  Make sure your child knows the...

TL;DR in English: Get therapy for your child. Work on behaviors at home. Enforce your house rules. Attend a parenting class. Consider residential treatment. Look into mentoring programs for your child.

Say "secundaria" when you are referring to school grades 7-10, in Mexico. Say "preparatoria" or "bachillerato" when talking about school grades 10-12, in Mexico. Call school grades 7-11 "instituto", when referring to Spain. Call school grades 11 to college, "bachillerato" or "ciclos formativos", for Spain.

Often we might complain that no one seems to be there for us, but we don’t actually make requests of loved ones. If you are guilty of wishing friends or family would reach out to you, but never taking the initiative, it’s time to change that. Don’t expect others to read your mind. If you want company, ask for it. If you need a hug, tell someone. You can simply say to a friend, “Jessica, I’ve been feeling very lonely and unloved lately. Can we make plans together this weekend to hang out? I could use some company?” If you are always pointing out the differences between yourself and others, then you are making it hard to belong. When you stop paying attention to differences and focus on common ground, you will find more people with whom you can potentially connect.  Find your tribe by challenging yourself to get out more. Join a book club based on your favorite genre. Participate in a local Meetup of singles in your age group. Take a Pilates class at your community gym. When you enter these social situations look for similarities between you and others. Then, point them out to start conversations. You might say, “Ooh, I love your gym bag! It matches my leggings! Where’d you get it?” Empathy is basically the ability to experience what another person is experiencing, or walking in their shoes. When you are able to adequately understand the feelings and perspectives of others, you will feel more connected to the larger whole of humanity.  Instead of simply focusing on feeling unloved, strive to show more love and compassion to others through empathy. Start by improving your listening skills. Too frequently, we listen to reply rather than understand. When you are engaged in a conversation, orient towards the other person and make occasional eye contact. Eliminate distractions and fully focus on the other person’s message.  Try to imagine what they must be feeling based on their words. Mirror their emotional state by saying “Hmmm” or “Aww” as is appropriate. Then, summarize what you heard by saying “It sounds like...

TL;DR in English: Ask for support when you need it. Look for shared similarities. Aim for greater empathy. Volunteer.

Choose a sweatshirt or turtleneck the same color as your tentacles. You will be sewing the tentacles onto this, so pick an old one or buy one secondhand. A hood makes it easy to attach the eyes, but it is not mandatory. Sew them on starting from the inside of the shirt, so the stitches don't show. Use sturdy thread that can support the tentacles' weight, and keep sewing until the tentacles are well secured. You'll want three tentacles on each side, below your arms.  Bend the wires on the tentacles to change their position. For greater comfort, offset the tentacles a little forward, so your actual arms can hang at your side. If your sweatshirt doesn't have a hood, find a knit hat close to the same color as your shirt. If you can't find one and have extra tights fabric left over from earlier, you can glue or stitch the edges together to make a cap. To mimic the bulging eyes of an octopus, cut a ping pong ball in half. Draw a rectangular pupil onto each half using a permanent marker or black paint. Googly eyes are another option. Glue the eyes onto the hood or cap of your costume. Place them as symmetrically as you can, with the pupils in the same position.

TL;DR in English: Find a colorful top. Secure tentacles to the sides of the sweatshirt. Choose a cap. Make octopus eyes. Attach the eyes to the side of your head.

Determine the age level(s) of schooling to which you are referring. In the United States, high school refers to a compulsory education for students ages fourteen through eighteen.  However, this is not the case in many Spanish speaking countries. Schooling is broken up differently in other countries.   In Mexico, if you are referring to students age twelve to fifteen, students attend what is comparable to junior high school. This school is called "secundaria", and it is an extension of "educación básica" (elementary school). If you want more information about high school in Mexico, there are some government websites which provide information about "secundaria" in Mexico. These websites can be written in language that is difficult to read. However, if you read slowly and skim for graphs and visual representations, you can find some useful information. Students ages fifteen to eighteen attend what is called "preparatoria", "bachillerato", or "educación media superior". In Mexico, "el bachillerato" is the main track to university. "Prepartoria", on the other hand, is more geared toward vocational training so that when a student graduates they are ready to work in a specific vocation. For example, students who graduate from "prepartoria" might be ready to work as a laboratory technician. In Spain, students twelve to sixteen years of age attend either an "instituto de educación secundaria" (instituto for short), "colegio concertado", or "colegio privado". Schooling at this point is still compulsory. Some high schools are public, others are private, and some are both. In Chile, for example, there has been a major shift toward the privatization schools. Most parents will pay more for their students to attend the private or semi-private schools. At this point, schooling is not compulsory for all students. However, many students sixteen to eighteen years of age attend "bachillerato" or go to "ciclos formativos" for more school training.  Often the different high schools in Spanish speaking countries entail different...

Spray your garden’s vulnerable plants regularly with a commercial or homemade deer repellent. These repellents typically contain components like sulfur, ammonia salts and capsaicin which deer find unpleasant. Even the store-bought varieties are concocted with natural ingredients and don’t make use of harsh chemicals that might damage your plants’ growth. Simply mist your garden every couple of days.  If you’re not inclined to shell out the money for a commercial repellent, try mixing up your own with eggs, garlic, ammonia, and/or hot sauce blended with water.  Be careful about using repellents on crops you plan to harvest and eat yourself. Compounds like capsaicin aren’t dangerous, but may influence the taste of edible plants. Deer are notoriously skittish creatures and are quite easy to scare off with the right stimulus. One particularly effective strategy is to put in a couple motion-activated sprinkler posts at the far ends of your garden or wherever deer tend to sneak in. When they get close, they’ll suddenly be doused with a unexpected jet of water from the sprinkler, which will send them running.  Installing a motion-activated sprinkler system is a pricier option, but one that is guaranteed to have repeated success. Along with its deterrent benefits, a sprinkler is also a convenient way of making sure your garden or yard is getting enough water. Loud, spontaneous noises are a surefire way to get rid of inquisitive deer. Whether it’s an electronic noisemaker on a timer, a set of jarring wind chimes or a simple well-timed clap of your hands, a deer won’t take any chances with what’s generating the noise. Even leaving the back door open to let the sounds of household activity escape can be enough to dissuade a deer from coming any closer.  Electronic noisemakers can be programmed to emit regular tones that will scare away deer but won’t disturb the neighbors. Try fashioning a set of non-harmonic wind chimes from aluminum cans or hollow wood cuttings. Deer often travel in herds at night to forage, mate and...

TL;DR in English: Use a spray repellent. Install motion-activated sprinklers. Create noise to scare the deer off. Put in some automatic lights.

Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface.  Use a tire iron or the appropriate socket to loosen the lug nuts on the first rear wheel, then slide a jack beneath one of the vehicle’s rear designated jack points to lift the vehicle up.  Always use jack stands when working on a jacked up vehicle. Unscrew the lug nuts and remove the wheel. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual if you need assistance locating the designated jack points. With the wheel removed, you will be able to see the outside of the brake drum directly behind where the wheel used to be.  The center of the circular brake drum is a removable dust cap.  Slide a flat head screw driver into the gap beneath the dust cap and pry it toward you to remove it.  The dust cap may have rusted in place or could be stuck due to brake dust and road grime. If the cap doesn’t come off easily, spray it with rust remover like WD40 and allow it to sit for a minute before trying again. Beneath the dust cover, you’ll find the axle bearing nut.  This large nut is usually a 22 or 24 millimeter metric socket, or a 7/8” standard socket.  Use a breaker bar or half inch drive ratchet to turn the nut counterclockwise in order to remove it.  A traditional 3/8-inch drive socket wrench may not allow you to put enough pressure on the nut to break it loose. Set the nut aside someplace safe for use when reinstalling the drum. With the axle nut removed, the drum will no longer be held in place, but may still be stuck on due to rust or grime.  Twist the drum slightly as you remove it to break it free from any rust. The drum may be extremely difficult to remove. Rust removers like WD40 can help loosen the grip created by rust on your vehicle’s drums.  Spray it around the outside circumference of the drum where it meets the vehicle and give it a few minutes to set in.  Then attempt to remove the drum again.   You may bang on the drum with a rubber mallet to help loosen it up. Do not strike the drum with a hammer, as it may damage it. If you are replacing the drum as well, it doesn’t...

TL;DR in English: Jack the vehicle up and remove the wheel. Remove the dust cap with a screwdriver. Use a ratchet to unscrew the axle bearing nut. Twist the drum as you pull it backward to remove it. Spray the drum with rust remover if it’s stuck.

The more people you come into contact with, the higher possibility to engage in intelligent and informative conversations where you can gain additional knowledge. Since people enjoy informative yet casual conversations on interesting topics, we tend to retain this knowledge better.   Cultivate friendships with intelligent, educated, and experienced people. These friendships will produce stimulating conversations on a variety of topics exposing you to new ideas, perspectives, and understandings. Try to meet up for coffee or tea once a week and discuss anything new you learned or talk about current affairs. Although audiobooks are no substitution for reading, they do permit the listener to gain access to a wealth of general knowledge while performing other tasks like commuting to work or exercising. Audiobooks will also help to increase your vocabulary, a different way to process information, and the ability to achieve a higher level of understanding.   Audiobooks often include commentary by the author, providing you with additional insight to how ideas formed for the book or reasoning behind certain scenes. This information will not only expand your general knowledge on the content of the book but also the writing process and author’s thoughts. You can buy, rent, or borrow audiobooks from a host of places. Instead of listening to music everywhere you go, try to substitute a good audiobook from time to time in your daily commute or exercise time. Listening to professionals conducting the seminar or conference will provide you the general knowledge presented a topic. This is important because the presenter is speaking professionally about the methods, approaches, and experiences they encountered while formulating an analysis that took several years to conduct and yield results.

Listening will help you grasp the information while writing it down will help you to retain it. Listen for the main ideas of...
